As noted by several local Pittsburgh and national news outlets, a leader of the Pittsburgh Muslim community is being detained by U.S. Customs and Immigration officials. Fox Rothschild attorney Bob Whitehill is representing Imam Kadir Gunduz, 48, his wife, Saime, and The Islamic Center of Pittsburgh. The couple, who has lived in Pittsburgh since 1988 and raised three children there – all of whom are U.S. citizens – may be deported pending the outcome of ongoing immigration litigation. If the couple is forced to leave, they would be forced to leave behind their children, who range in age from 16 to 10, the eldest of whom is wheelchair bound.
